Letter: ELA and Anti-Drought Convention

Right Honourable Prime Minister,

I strongly oppose two recent moves by your government to close the Experimental Lakes Area and pull Canada out of the UN Anti-Drought Convention. Research in the environmental sciences is of an all-time importance and these decisions run counter to an informed and evidence-based approach to determining policy and governmental response. That this is becoming a hallmark of your administration is gravely concerning. 

In the interest of good and informed governance, please reverse these decisions.
